Rapid shear strength evaluation of in situ granular materials utilizing the dynamic cone penetrometer

"Determination of the in situ shear strength of granular materials is an expensive and time consuming endeavor using traditional ""detailed"" evaluation techniques. The development of several ""rapid"" evaluation devices has facilitated the determination of the in situ shear strength of fine-grained soils. However, there were no ""rapid"" evaluation devices suitable for characterizing the in situ shear strength of granular materials."
